Nummary of the Report.
WASHINGTON, March 28.—'The
Associated Prer.s presents herewith a
complete abstract of the court of in
quiry which Investigated the wreck
ing of the battleship Maine. This ab
stract Is made from the report itself,
access to which was obtained despite
official secrecy unparelleled In the
handling of offli ial papers. The report
is made up of eight parts, as follows:
First: The court finds that at the
time of the explosion the battleship
Maine was lying in five and one-half
to six fathoms of water.
Second. The discipline aboard the
ship was excellent, everything stow
ed according to orders - ammunition,
guns, stores, etc. The temperature of
the magazine at 8 p. ni. was normal,
except in the after ten-inch magazine,
and that did not explode
The explosion occurred at 0 iO
o'clock on the evening of February 1 o.
There were two explosions, with a
very short interval between them. The
ship lifted on the first explosion.
Fourth. The court can find no defi
nite opinion of the condition of the
wreck from the divers' evidence.
Fifth. The technical details of
wreckage from which the court ad
duces that a mine was exploded under
,he ship on the port side
•Sixth. The explosion was due to
no fault of those on board.
Seventh. Opinion of the rourt stat
ing that the mine caused the explos
ion of two magazines.
Klrhth. The court declares that ft
cannot find evidence to fix responsi
bility.
The repor' is unanimous and is
signed by all members of the court. It
does not refer to the existence or non
except In the specific Aniline that a
mine was exploded under the ship,
nnd the opinion that the explosion of
the two magazines was caused bv the
explosion of a mine.
The report as a whole is a fo-mal
dispassionate reel tat of fa ts*nd'<-,...
the stamp of that strict officialism
which marks naval procedure. It Is
brief, not exceeding l.M)0 words, and
among the eight parts, goes to the
greati-st length under 'he second
heading, which deals with the disci
pline ard order of the shir. This the
court specifies with extreme minute
ness, the least detail of the satisfac
tory condition of everything i n board
being given.
The normal temperature of the large
forward magazines at S o'clock -only
an hour and fortv minutes before the
explosion—disposes of the nuestion of
accidental combustion within ties
magazines. While the court holds that
these magazines did not explodi front
Internal causes, they nevertheless are
of the oinion that the.explosion of a
mine under the port ride of the ship
caused the explosion of the two maga
zines. This will explain the remarka
able destruction wrought, ttie- explo
sion thus being shown to have com
bined the force of a mine without and
two magazines within.
The two explosions, which the court
finds to have occurred, with a very
short interval between them, are an
additional detail showing that two
forces operated in causing the destruc
tion.
The finding that t..e ship lifted on
the first explosion indicates i n extern
al source and one of tremendous pow
er to bo able to lift a battleship of
thousands of tons
The character of the wreckage, reel -
nicalty described in the fltt.h part,
from which the court adduces that a
mine was exploded under the ship on
thei port side, sustains the view tak'-n
by some experts shortly after that th<
forte of the explosion was exert"d
from port to starboard.
Tne feature of the report of deepest
Interest to the navy is the complete
exoneration of (’main Sigsbee and . il
\ on hoard, contain' d in the second find
ing setting fortli the nerfeet ordi r mi l
discipline prevailing on the ship, and
more directly stated in the sixth find
ing. which declares the disaster to be
due to no fault <>f those on hoard
The inability of the court to find ev
idence to fix responsibility, as stated
i in tiie eightn pari, makes the report
so guarded iu the expression of luanic
that neither Spain nor the Spanish
j are mentioned throughout.
THE WAK MUST END.

ministration of Cuban affairs is pre
dicted.
Since the delivery of this message
evidence has accumulated showing
beyond question that the promises
made In behalf of the new adminis
tration to relieve the conditions in
Cuba have not been fulfilled or ac
complished. On the contrary, the
evidence which nas reached the presi
dent shows conclusively that the sit
uation is daily becoming more se
rious. In view of these facts this gov
ernment hss decided to take, if It has
not already taken, definite action bv
Informing Spain that while disavow
ing anv interest other than that dic
tated by a sense of honor and Justice
to a stricken and starving people. It
must insist that hostilities be Imr/ght
to a speedy termination.
So far as known, no specific date
has been fixed within which ihc war
must lie terminated, but It is believed
that it Is the purpose of the adminis
tration not to permit of any unneces
sary or ex'ended delay. It Is known
In high official circles that many of
the people highest in authority In

Omaha dispatch: A deep feeling
of uneasiness pervade* labor circle*
here, especially railroad labor, on ac
count of the situation on the I’nton
Pacific. The re has been no announce
ment or even a hint of any reduction
In pay of the- men employed by the
overland route, and yet the men are
very apprehensive. The well defined
policy of retrenchment that has been
established by President Hurt must
I sooner or later reach the mi n on the
trains, and then there would he trou
j hie. The present scale on the I'nlon
Pacific Is somewhat higher than on
the Hurliugton and also Is graded ac
cording to the locality.
An effort at a reduction was made
('tiring the first week of the receiver,
.lodge Dundy of this district signed
the order making a 10 per cent, cut
of all the men In the operating depart
ment. 'I'hiB was resisted by the men
a. d resulted lit the hearing before a
ci tnmlsodon appointed by Judge f'ald

I- Judge Caldwell himself. The court
at that time declined to allow the
v. age scale to be interfered with.
S' nee the road has passed out of the
It. nda of the receivers and Into new
i vnership the men feel that, the effort,
to reduce the pay will lie renewed.
This was the inside reason for the
.nt meeting of all brotherhoods at
North Plattp during the wee!;. At this
meeting the situation was gone, over
thoroughly. The men claim to l>o in

Chief Arthur and Chief Sargent are

reporters. He fore leaving North I iatte
I st night they expressed themselves
as well satisfied with the outlook. At
T'nlon Pacific headquarters it Is im
possible to get any definite Informa
tion. President Hurt keeps his own
counsel and what his plans a»e he
alone knows. Other officials admit the
probability of an order reducing the
wages along the line, but know noth
‘ug definite concerning It The fact
'hat retrenchment has set in in all
other departments is the strongest
reason for thinking It roust set in in
the operating department. About

one issued by Judge Dundy.

A Ruth, a woman who live.- on North
Twenty-third street, was years ago
the wife of Edward A. Ruth, a sol

vnree. About six months after her
divorce Ruth died, and a short time
thereafter I.ydia made application for
a pension as his widow. It was grant
ed In 1882, and since that time she
has lined her pockets with about *600
of Cncle Sam's good coin as a depen
dent widow of her divorced husband.
Today she was bound over to the fed

lently drawn a pension, her bond be
hu fixed at tin- sum of *500. Rh» did
not deny any of the above facts, but
pleaded that she was advised bv her
friends to secure the pension, and that
she never knew that as the divorced
j wife of a soldier she v-as not entitled

which she was required to sign to se
cure her pension made special inquiry
on that subject. It is hinled that
some of those w ho advised her may be
